I am "stuck" on a chemotherapy infusion encounter and wondered if anyone else has come across something like this:
Mannitol - IV Infusion from 10:00 - 15:30
Decadron - IV Push at 11:00
Kytril - IV Push at 11:02
Pepcid - IV Push at 10:25
Cisplatin - chemo iv infusion from 11:40 - 13:10
Etoposide - chemo infusion from 13:10 - 15:10
Would the Mannitol infusion be coded as concurrent to the chemo infusions or, would it be coded as a sequential IV infusion with 1 additional hour? I am thinking that the hours it runs with the chemo are bundled because we are billing for the hours of the chemo infusion.
Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!
